Taking the timely guidance of Bhaskaracharya, the Kulaguru -
embodying Brahma amsa, and attending
to the assigned duties, the Vysyu munis thrived immensely to the
jealousy of Kubera, ruling over Alakapuri, his capital; for, the latter became comparatively less
inspiring and unimpressive to speak
the truth.
The vast region
commendably conspicuous by its elevation,
and bound by the broad rampart walls, and dotted with little hillocks and high mounds lying all
around in close proximity, it presented a spectacle of beauty and
appeared exceedingly majestic, and so was appropriately called
penugonda - means thereby that it is the biggest of the hills around
its environs. Another interpretation is - konda stands for gotra
which means vamsa and as almost all gotras resided there, it was
aptly called Penugonda.
